Description
Frontiers Clinical & Translational Science Institute offers Biostatistics, Epidemiology and Research Design (BERD) vouchers to pay for biostatistical assistance on research projects. The program supports study design, data analysis, and bioinformatics, helping researchers with both the design of a study and the analysis of its data. Its focus is on research services rather than a specified disease, scientific topic, or individual research question.
Vouchers are open to researchers at Frontiers partner institutions who lack other funding for this assistance. Frontiers is the NIH/NCATS-funded Clinical and Translational Science Award hub for Kansas and Western Missouri, based at the University of Kansas Medical Center. The institute tracks publications, abstracts, and grant submissions associated with voucher-supported projects through follow-up with principal investigators.
